NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
It displays a translucent ruby-red hue and greets the nose with an enticing bouquet of red cherries, wild strawberries, and a subtle hint of rose petals, indicative of its cool-climate origin.On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, with a vibrant acidity that enhances the flavors of cranberry, raspberry, and a touch of baking spices. The fine-grained tannins provide structure without overpowering the wine's delicate nature. The finish is long and memorable, with a delightful interplay of fruit and a faint earthy note.
